SAILING 11141TCI1: Some time since a Silver Cup and Cover, given by the Proprietoi of the . Minor Vauxhall, in honour of - the Birth-day of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, was sailed for by ten .boats, prid the Spitfire, of four tons, Capt. NOKE, was the first boat which arrived at Minor Vauxhall, returning from Putney. The Spiijire would have been entitled to the Cup by arriving tirst,, but the other competitors com plained that they had sailed under a disadvantage, because the . Spiyire had.boomed out one of her sails, which enabled her to win. This was considered contrary to the regulations of the Sailing Match ; and, under these circumstances, the parties agreed to try anoi her.effort fur the prize. Yesterday being appointed for the second contest, the following Plea .sure -boats took stations on the West-side of Black friars-bridge : Boats' Names. Owners. Place. Tons. Henrietta, - Captain Major, - Hungerford, - 4 Anne, Sien, - Chiswick, - - 8 Ludlow, - - Nelson, - Stangate, - - 3 Vixen, - - Hewetson, Nine films, 7 George and Sarah, Lewis, - Crab Tree, - 6 Hero, -- - - Farlow, Hungertord, - 3 Produce, - - Herbert, Westminster, , S Spitfire, - Noke, Hu ngertord, - 4 St. George, - Guns ton, Paul's Wharf, 7 Caroline, - - ,Stangate, - 3 • The competitors started about three o'clock with a fine breeze, and the tide. The operation of filling their sails was instantaneous, and the flotilla was quickly in motion. The Vixen shot ahead and kept the lead to Putney, followed by the St. George.— The boats had to sail round a boat stationed near Putney Bridge, and return past a boat stationed op posite Minor Vauxhall, Every exertion was made by the several owners to take advantage of the wind and tide; but the Vixen sailed uncommonly well, putting all her adversaries at deance: Abreast of Chelsea College, the Spitfire shot ahead of the St. George; the latter, howeverOigaidtook the lead of the spitfire, but node could gain on the Vixen, which came in at the winning place in grand style, leaving the St. George, which was the second, a long way astern. Mr. Herbert, M.P. who, we un derstand, condualed the Produce, declined the con test at starting, as the breeze was not strong enough to manoeuvre his boat with success. Notwithstanding the Vixen appeared entitled to the prize, it was re ported that some objetclion had been made to the manner in which she had won it. The admirers of river sports enjoyed a rich treat. Several bands of music were stationed near the scene of amuse ment, and Old Thames, with his banks appeared covered by gay company. MUSICAL FESTIVAL. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM TRURQ, SEPT. 8. The Cornwall Musical Festival concluded here this morning, and was attended throughout with the most complete Success ; the whole of the surround ing NOility and Gentry were present on the occa sion. Lord DE DUN STA NViL LE, Lord FALMOUTH, Lord ELLIOTT, Mr. THEMA IN Ey Member (or the County, Sir WILLIAM LcmoN, the other Member, the Hon. Mr. TowNsEtsw, and Mr. AGAR, were the Stewards, and attended to the accommodation of the company in an unprecented degree. _ _ Messrs. ASHLEY, - who conducted the business, collected a baud of the first professors, and brought down the most celebrated singers, at the bead of whom . were Miss PARKE and BARTLEMAN.--This lady, who had never before been lieard in this part of the country, afforded the greatest delight by her exquisite periorMance, and in the Messiah, Judas Maccatwai, and the Creation (in the Church), or the more brilliant songs of the evening concerts, wa►; equally successful. The tavour►te songs she sang were, Farewell, Pious Orgies, andi know that my Redeemer liveth; the latter of which she gave in a style of such' pathos and feeling as drew tears from the greatest part of ►he audience. Miss PARK'S songs in the evening concerts were encored, and the company then testified their sense of her great and V3l - 10113 powers, by the most rapturous and unbound ed applause. BARTLENIAN displayed all his energy and taste with the most happy efiedt ; and Mr. and Mrs. VAUGHAN contributed much to the general merits of the undertaking. The band was most ably led by Mr. ASHLEY, and the whole went off so entirely to the satisfaCtion of the brilliant company assem bled, as to induce a request, that it might be in fu ture a regular and established undertaking. The church was filled each morning, particularly to the Messiah, and the Theatre in the evenings crowded to suffocation. Yesterday the Gray's lan and. several 'other volun teer corps appeared at an early hour in the morning on their respedive parades, and from thence march ed towards Highgate and Hampstead. On their way, they formed in adverse parties, and continued skirmishing in sham fights over all the adjoining hills and through the ❑eighboaring rallies, alter nately advancing and retreating with much skill, order, and alertness,. and went through all the va rious evolutions of advance, retreat, attack, and charge; with astonishing adroitness. • MERIC .

All vessels which have arrived either from British ports, or with British merchandize, in the United States, subsequent to the loth of June last, and also all vessels which may hereafter thus ar rive, having sailed from the United States before in formation of the inclosed Proclamation should have been received at the port of departure, so far as re lates to any forfeiture or penalty. accruing from hav ing arrived or arriving in the United States from British ports, or with British merchandize. 3.
